Be Better than the Competition

Pros

I always liked Altair's long history of being a good place for employees.

Cons

Altair has recently hired senior executives from the competition and they are changing the company for the worse. Arrogance is a bad look for senior management, especially in sales. Altair was all about solving engineering problems, not now.

Pros

I really do not think that there is any.

Cons

Jim Scapa the CEO is the most arrogant person you will ever meet. HR does not know what they are doing. Poor pay.

Pros

Work From Home flexibility during COVID pandemic. That's it.

Cons

I don't even know where to start... Everything is a chaos in the support/non-engineering departments. Zero communication between areas, there's always problems because people don't know what they're supposed to do or where their work should start or end. Managers have no idea about leadership or what their team members are supposed to do. There's no training so don't be surprised if they ask you to do something you don't know how to do and there's no one to teach you. The RH people is the less human and impartial and she's going nowhere because she's been in Altair for an eternity, it's just sad. She is the vivid representation of how companies just use you as a work machine and how they don't even care about employees as humans with own lives.
